Brazil are now the favourites to win the World Cup.
The halfway mark of the World Cup may be an ideal opportunity for sports betting fans to reassess the value in the market.A number of the pre-tournament favourites have struggled to perform in their opening matches, with some in danger of making an early exit.
In contrast, the most impressive sides have largely been those from South America – an observation that is reflected in the odds now on offer.

Five-time champions Brazil have moved to the top of the odds table, being named by 888sport.com as the 4/1 joint-favourites.
Argentina, under the guidance of Diego Maradona, have moved from odds of 8/1 before a ball had been kicked to join their continental rivals at 4/1.
Meanwhile, the likes of England (11/1), Italy (20/1) and France (150/1) have all slipped back in the reckoning.
The French could be dumped out of the 2010 event today (June 22nd) when they face host nation South Africa, relying on other results to keep them in the tournament.
